The "Scatter" word getting more popular

[South Park]

Unfortunately, the government will not able to stop it.

Gambling activity would be something like new normal, no one gonna stop it. Similar to underage labor, illegal worker etc because the number is too high, if the cops need to catch all of them, the jail wouldn't be enough and it would harm their economy.

What they can do is catching the popular gamblers and warn the citizen, they hope it can reduce the number of gamblers.

People have grown to become too reliant on their governments, whenever a negative event happens they want for the government to do something about it, when the truth is they are the only ones that can change things up, in this case if we want kids to not gamble, the parents need to do their part and set restrictions on the phones and computers their kids use, and if every parent did the same, it will be very difficult for kids to gamble online, plus if you added the right education then those kids will not be interested in gambling at all, however this will require for parents to dedicate a great deal of time to their kids, something that not many parents do anymore.

Here where I live we don't hear this word "scatter" related to gambling matters. It's probably a regional hype from the area where you live. Not that these games change very much from one place to another, it's just that the catching words and phrases are different depending where you are. The most catching game here promoted by influencers is "tiger's game". That is a pretty popular concept of gambling everyone is aware about, including the ones who aren't gamblers, because the media has been talking a lot about it since last year.

So much propaganda does bring consequences, like awaking the interest from the young ones for these popular gambling games. Children see their parents and relatives playing, so they feel encouraged to repeat the same actions of the adults. However, they don't have money to gamble like the adults, so I don't see this as a big issue at all. Children will talk to each other about this matter, as everyone else is doing, but they won't have access to gambling, anyway.

In two days I have heard or seen the "Scatter" word a lot of times. Twice on Facebook, one from the status of a friend, and the other a meme.
Today, I went to the e-bicycle shop for it to be fixed and the mechanic there is also talking about the "Scatter". The first time I heard it, I was curious what it was but because I am also playing slots, I had the idea.
Then, I was invited by those mechanics to join a group where they play the slots game and they said registration is free because they think I knew something about it. I didn't join them.

Now, thinking all about it, I am kind of worried. What if kids do this too? They said all I needed was the cash application and kids can have that now.
The other thing that I am worried about is they don't even keep it a secret anymore. They play on their smartphones and they let the volume up like they don't care if kids will hear it.
The growth of the gambling industry is definitely fast but is it going the right way?

Well, influencers are a huge part of this. When it comes with kids, I quite doubt it would be that emerging on their end. I am actually familiar with this game but I find it boring. I still prefer sportsbetting over other gambling games. Indeed it is alike with any other slot games but has a bit of a twist.

It will only be stopped once governments take actions like what they did before with cockfighting games although such thing still exist, numbers are lower with platforms offering such kind of gambling game. However, if this game is registered and is paying taxes then we can only wait for regulation to take place.

Aside from gambling, there are alot of things out there that destroy kids as well, so, let's not make this seem like once gambling is completely erased from our system and daily lives, everything will be alright with our kids.

It is always the duty of parents to look after their wards, teach them on things that are right to do and things that are wrong, if as parents, we sacrifice what it takes to give our kids the best education and training, trust me, we won't have to worry for them when they go out there all alone because they already won't allow themselves be deceived into doing what is not right for them to do.

So, indeed the gambling industry, like any other technology industry, is also developing fast just as you have said, but for whether it's developing in the right or wrong direction, it's up to you and me to decide individually, how you choose to go about your gambling is what determines whether it be a good or bad development for you.

Well, as long as the government will also benefit from these casinos profits, they won't do such things to stop it. Although they always promote ads to stay off gambling for minors but it seems, they are also the reason why these minors these days easily fall on gambling addiction.

Scatter is very popular now, and it will definitely prolong its popularity seeing a lot of new games and casino apps are coming out. Gambling is never a problem actually, but if you are an irresponsible gambler, you will really find gambling very annoying and will cause a lot of stress and depression if you don't know how to manage your own gambling activities.

I guess you must be from South America regions where games/slots from the PG Soft provider are very popular there, while that provider is less popular in the US, Europe and Asia.
Scatter became popular here in Asia because more people, especially gamblers, prefer to mention scatter instead of slots to avoid negative judgments from other people - because gambling is still prohibited in many countries in Asia.

So much propaganda does bring consequences, like awaking the interest from the young ones for these popular gambling games. Children see their parents and relatives playing, so they feel encouraged to repeat the same actions of the adults.

Children will talk to each other about this matter, as everyone else is doing, but they won't have access to gambling, anyway.

In some Asian countries, especially in countries that prohibit all forms of gambling, anyone can play, including children, because there are many illegal online casinos with a very small minimum deposits, and there is no such thing as KYC.

We can't allow kids to gamble because, at their early age, they will certainly make bad decisions. They have no source of income for gambling, so most likely they'll steal from their parents, and worse, from other people. At a young age, they might already be thinking about how to commit crimes. That's why prevention is crucial, and we should not let that happen.

We can't stop the trend of gambling as it's online and easy for them to access, especially since kids nowadays have freedom on the internet. As responsible parents, we should guide them and educate them on what to and not to do at their young age.

The growth of the gambling industry is definitely fast but is it going the right way?

Depends how you manage yourself, but in general, yes because it does improve the economy of a country from the tax being collected.

Hmm I'd say it's a 2 sided problem kind of thing? Sure adults can try to hide it but inevitably they don't have any responsibility (at least in the law) to actually do so so there's always going to be instances where they let kids around them know of gambling. It's a blame maybe, but not big enough to force everyone to actually do something about it.

On the other hand, parents should be supervising their child. Whether it be through stopping them from being influenced by stuff like that or by preventing them from joining stuff like this in the first place. Should be 100% possible if they know what they're doing and supervising their kids properly.

Can't really judge whether it's growing the right way or not since I don't think kids being influenced is even a metric for showing business growth. Heck, I reckon just the speed aspect already shows its going the right way.

Make sense, because these gambling platforms will help the government to make money also, for some taxes, people will be able to work on them.

What I can really see is it must be properly regulated because here in our countries, I believe a lot of platforms are doing it illegal especially there are some paid content creators in different social media that promoting gambling, especially "scatter" game they always calling.

I would say definitely not. It wouldn't be a big problem if the mature people play it secretly. If they don't play openly but when they play such games in front of everyone through mobile application like this then people of all ages can be lured there. And the result will not be good. We cannot expect anything better from future generations. Those who engage in such gambling should try to keep things away from children. Gambling industry is developing and now a days with smart phones every person gets a chance to play these games by free registering and depositing some money there but minors are also getting addicted to it which is a threat to the society and at the same time in the country.

If kids hear about "Scatter", that can makes them curious and will find out what it is. We know that kids can find easily what they wants without adult people know. If they know that "Scatter" related to gambling, they can search for more about gambling and they can playing gambling secretly.

Yes, it is worry if kids who doesn't supervise or guided by their parents know about gambling. They can start playing gambling using their smartphones, even they can gambling while they are alone. They may know how to deposit some money to their gambling account (if they already join in a casino site).

Adult people should aware about this and will not playing gambling if any kids near to them. If they gambling, they should not use sound in the game so kids not attract or curious with that. It needs awareness from adult people to know where they can playing gambling and when they don't have to playing gambling.

[danherbias07]

New word I guess, I haven't heard about it before when it relates to gambling. On doing some little research I just found that it's even more popular on the online casinos now, wonder how I have heard of it here on the forum before. If it really is that interesting as they say it, I think a lot of young ones might want to hop on the wave and also try to make benefits. Gambling can be controlled to some extent but not totally. The young generations have become to exposed to the Internet that nothing can be hidden anymore from them. Most especially those that grew up with seniors who Usually gamble.

I also heard this word for the first time today. But in fact, I didn’t understand what the essence of the topic was. I think if the OP gets acquainted with the games that children play now (real children 5-8 years old and not teenagers), he will find that many of them are based on “casino” mechanics - solid loot boxes and other gambling techniques to lure real money out of players. I really don’t understand how this differs from a casino and why regulators turn a blind eye to this. I don't care when it comes to adults, but here there is a clear involvement of children in gambling.

Actually, I do hear my children sometimes playing Android applications with sounds that are nearly similar to the sounds in gambling games, especially slots. There are times I would run to them just to check what game they are playing and I am happy it is still Roblox or a game application for kids.
I am a gamer and so are my kids which is why I always check their history and the application they installed so that I can delete them if it's inappropriate for their age. Advertisements can sometimes be the key to why they are installing inappropriate games.

Yeah, games like Gacha games are similar to gambling and so does Roblox where kids are buying the Robux just to make their avatars beautiful or rush the game and gain full strength. There's an essence of gambling, especially in the boxes which they don't know what's inside.

[yahoo62278]

I have never heard the term scatter used anywhere so I am missing something? Obviously I know what scatter is in slots, but I have never seen or heard it used. I do hear and see the words sadge and prayge and personally think the people saying it sound dumb as hell, but that's just my opinion.

[hyudien]

Gambling is never a problem actually, but if you are an irresponsible gambler, you will really find gambling very annoying and will cause a lot of stress and depression if you don't know how to manage your own gambling activities.

But that may apply to countries that do allow gambling to be carried out, because if the country does not allow gambling to be carried out it may be a different story even though the government will benefit from the casinos that stand but because of the prohibition on gambling that cannot be done it can make existing casinos stopped. There are so many people today who do gambling, especially with the existence of this online casino, which is undeniably very easy to access, making many people recognize and do it, even children who are still underage are familiar with it and there are those who become addicted to gambling.
Scatter is indeed one of the things that many people who gamble want. It's true that you said, indeed gambling will not be a problem if we do it properly or with the limits set, with many cases of adverse effects that occur because they gamble irresponsibly or exceed their own limits.

[Davidvictorson]

When it comes to underage gambling, it's true that the solution lies in the hand of both parents and government for eliminating this menace.

Correct.

However, I still believe that with the right approach and strategy, kids involvement in gambling can be drastically minimize if government are truly willing and ready to face it with full force and a strict policy to ensure that which ever gambling sites found guilty are fine to pay a fee,However, I still believe that with the right approach and strategy, kids involvement in gambling can be drastically minimize if government are truly willing and ready to face it with full force and a strict policy to ensure that which ever gambling sites found guilty are fine to pay a fee,

I tell you that these approach which you have described will only be possible in countries with very tight regulation where they actually see underaged gambling as a ticking time bomb and where there are strong advocacy going on. However, you know that in countries where the government are more concerned about themselves than the people, in countries where kids that are of school age are not the priority, it will be difficult for the government to give a hoot about underaged gambling. In my estimation it is more of a collective and community effort.

Yes, that's true, but I think the government's role is also quite important in this problem where maybe they can create new regulations that prohibit gambling activities such as making them illegal, but yes of course it's nothing more than just to help and narrow people's opportunities to gamble, but the rest is is dependent on the community itself, if the majority of individuals in a country really have a strong intention and determination to avoid the bad effects of gambling then it is clear that they should do or prepare various things that can be used as prevention. Everything starts from the smallest and then eventually you will get used to it, such as limiting the use of smartphones which must be done by parents by limiting their children in accessing the internet so that they can avoid the reach of online casinos or other things that can also be useful or can be used. make it a preventive solution. Basically, with any problem, the first thing that must be addressed is the cause before you solve the problem, and I hope that all parents can be aware of this danger so that they immediately take action like the solution we suggest above.

The problem is "Scatter" is so famous now in Philippines. It got a lot of attention from a lot of people since this casino has been well promoted by a lot of influencers.

If you are worried about the welfare of the children then yes this scatter word already reach to their knowledge and this is included to their jokes. If there's no proper guidance towards this activities and young people will participate playing that casino then maybe there will be a huge problem will happen to those kids. Its like regulation on gambling casino is not really good in Philippines since they let those influential people to easily market those casino to their followers and its dangerous especially that almost majority of them are flaunting easy get rich schemes that's why lots of people got interest to gamble without even thinking that those streamers are tricking them for referrals.

Now, thinking all about it, I am kind of worried. What if kids do this too? They said all I needed was the cash application and kids can have that now.

What cash application are you talking about? Do you mean CashApp? The kids having money apps without conducting KYC? I don't believe this. Most kids don't have money to gamble, unless their parents give them, but I don't believe that those kids would waste the money on online casinos(they can't conduct KYC, because they are under 18 years old). Maybe some of them might use non-KYC casinos, but that would be a really small number of children.
I hear gambling terms all the time, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the people, who use gambling terms are hardcore gamblers.
Nobody in my social circle had ever used the terms "scatter" or "scatter symbol". Maybe this term is more widely used in the Anglo-Saxon countries.

Roblox is literally a casino for kids. In most games there, there are loot boxes in the form of chests or eggs, and as far as I know the randomness there is very harsh. There is no so-called guarantor (which most gachas have) and you can spend a lot of Robux (actually real money) on a bad day and get nothing. I mean that, for example, if the chance of an item dropping is 1 percent, you can make 500 attempts and not get it.

Now it is very difficult to prevent because indeed now only the role of parents can limit each child so that they can know what they should do and what not and indeed this is not easy because after all they are now the last protector of children so as not to be exposed to gambling problems that are getting bigger in terms of enthusiasts today. It's just that there are not a few parents who are actually indifferent in paying attention to their children which makes the condition worse than it is. In my country there are currently more than 400 thousand children doing gambling and 80 thousand children under 10 years old, this is already included in the alarming category so there needs to be tactical steps from all circles to limit gambling.

Actually I have no problem with gambling if it is done by adults or those who already have an income but for children I think this is a condition that is difficult to accept.
